BACKGROUND Determining treatment response for patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) can be challenging due to limitations of current disease activity evaluations. OBJECTIVE Evaluate the novel, validated endpoint, Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response (HiSCR) and its utility as an outcome measure. METHODS Patients with baseline total abscess and inflammatory nodule count (AN count...

Recently, GEMINI 1 investigators examined the efficacy of vedolizumab for induction and maintenance of remission in active ulcerative colitis (Mayo score of 6-12 and unsuccessful previous treatment with azathioprine, steroids or biologic therapy) in two integrated randomized controlled trials (RCTs) [1]. In the induction phase, 521 patients received open-label IV vedolizumab 300 mg at weeks 0 a...

the most accepted method of secondary prophylaxis in rheumatic fever (rf) has been an injection of 1,200,000 units of benzathine penicillin g (bpg) every 4 weeks, but recurrences have been reported in some patients despite such a prophylaxis program. the who recommended bpg injections every 3 weeks in high risk patients and situations due to some published data in favor of inadequacy of once ev...

The Markovian approach has been proposed to model American College of Rheumatology's (ACR) response (ACR20, ACR50, or ACR70) reported in rheumatoid arthritis clinical trials to account for the dependency of the scores over time. However, dichotomizing the composite ACR assessment discards much information. Here, we propose a new approach for modeling together the three thresholds: a continuous-...
